Mastering Peer Pressure

Peer pressure is a powerful force, but you are more powerful than any crowd.

First, know your values. If you know what you stand for,

you won't fall for anything. Practice saying no. A simple, firm No thanks,

that is not for me is enough. You don't need to explain yourself.

Your boundaries are yours to keep, no matter what. Have an exit strategy.

Blame a busy schedule if you need a quick way out. Surround yourself with

people who respect your choices and share your long-term goals. True friends celebrate

who you are. They never pressure you to be someone else. Be the leader
